We investigate the dynamics of the exciton formation and relaxation on a picosecond time scale following a pulsed photoexcitation of a semiconductor. The study is conducted in the framework of the density matrix theory complemented with the…
The exciton relaxation dynamics of photoexcited electronic states in poly($p$-phenylenevinylene) (PPV) are theoretically investigated within a coarse-grained model, in which both the exciton and nuclear degrees of freedom are treated…
Heterostructures of layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) host long-lived, tunable excitons, making them intriguing candidates for material-based quantum information applications. Light absorption in these systems induces a…
Organic semiconducting polymers are currently of broad interest as potential low-cost materials for photovoltaic and light-emitting display applications. I will give an overview of our work in developing a consistent quantum dynamical…
Electron-hole (e-h) capture in luminescent conjugated polymers (LCPs) is modeled by the dissipative dynamics of a multilevel electronic system coupled to a phonon bath. Electroinjected e-h pairs are simulated by a mixed quantum state, which…
Monolayers of transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are characterized by an extraordinarily strong Coulomb interaction giving rise to tightly bound excitons with binding energies of hundreds of meV. Excitons dominate the optical response…
We present an exciton/lattice model of the electronic dynamics of primary photoexcitations in a polymeric semiconductor heterojunction which includes both polymer pi-stacking, energetic disorder, and phonon relaxation. Results from our…
Exciton-exciton annihilation (EEA), in which two excitons interact to generate high-energy excitations, is an important non-radiative channel in light-induced excited-state relaxation. When efficient, this process offers an alternative…
We present a fully atomistic approach to exciton-phonon coupling in semiconductor quantum dots that bridges microscopic electronic-structure calculations with non-Markovian open-quantum-system dynamics. On the example of an InAsP quantum…
Electron-phonon and exciton-phonon interactions in nanoclusters are formulated and computed under the framework of GW-BSE (Bethe-Salpeter equation) approach. The phonon effect is modeled with the two-particle representation for the first…
The quantum-dynamical mechanism of photoinduced subpicosecond exciton dissociation and the concomitant formation of a charge-separated state at a TFB:F8BT polymer heterojunction is elucidated. The analysis is based upon a two-state vibronic…
The concept of \textit{optical} exciton - a photo-excited bound electron-hole pair within a crystal - is routinely used to interpret and model a wealth of excited-state phenomena in semiconductors. Beside originating sub-band gap signatures…
Electron-phonon ($e$-ph) interactions are key to understanding the dynamics of electrons in materials, and can be modeled accurately from first-principles. However, when electrons and holes form Coulomb-bound states (excitons), quantifying…
We present a unified theory of luminescence spectra for highly excited semiconductors, which is applicable both to the electron-hole BCS state and to the exciton Bose-Einstein condensate. The crossover behavior between electron-hole BCS…
Femtosecond relaxation of photo-excited quasiparticles in the one dimensional Mott insulator ET-F2TCNQ are measured as a function of external pressure, which is used to tune the electronic structure. By fitting the static optical properties…
We calculate the {\em exact} time-resolved ARPES spectrum of a two-band model semiconductor driven out of equilibrium by resonant and nonresonant laser pulses, highlighting the effects of phonon-induced decoherence and relaxation. {\em…
An excitonic insulator phase is expected to arise from the spontaneous formation of electron-hole pairs (excitons) in semiconductors where the exciton binding energy exceeds the size of the electronic band gap. At low temperature, these…
The equilibrium and non-equilibrium optical properties of single-layer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are determined by strongly bound excitons. Exciton relaxation dynamics in TMDs have been extensively studied by time-domain…
Time resolved intensity cross-correlation measurements of radiative cascades are used for studying non-radiative relaxation processes of excited carriers confined in semiconductor quantum dots. We spectrally identify indirect radiative…
An excitonic approach to the ultrafast optical response of confined semiconductors at elevated densities below the Mott transition is presented. The theory is valid from the coherent regime, where coherent excitonic transitions and…
